L l UNDER THE HASHISH. A Graphic Description of lhc SPnsallons Produced by the Drug. ‘Vg were five comrades, seaterl on a cir cultk‘divan around a richly served table. The breakfast, which had been the means of bringing us together, was not an ordinary breakfast. Scarcely Were we seated when two lackeys entered the room, one carry- ing a quaintly chased silver cofi‘er, which he placed on the table before our host, the celebrated Dr. Mâ€"â€"; the other bore a tray on which were placed tiny cups of Turkish cofiee, in their outer cups of filigree silver. The Doctor drew the cofler toward him and gravely opened it. He took therefrom several boxes of rock crystal, one of which was half full of a greenish sort of compound. "Here," said be, “we have the substance in question in all its possible formsâ€"in a powder for the Narghily smoker, in an oily extract, in a spirituous one, and even cleverly disguised in sweets and conserves. It is under the latter cloak that I recom- mend it to you as being more pleasant to swallow : its taste is sulll ciently agreeable when prepared with pistachio nuts, like that which 1 procured yesterday.” “Does one run no risk or danger by using this drug?” “By some learned men it is asserted to be quite innoxious ; but it Would be difficult for me to share their conviction, for I think that a too frequent use of it would induce cerebral congestion, and certainly the piti- able condition of those individuals who are given up to this passion seems to m sutficiently instructive. But I believe that one may occasionally use it without any marked ill effect. I, who am speaking to you, have taken it close on 200 times, and I am none the worse for it. Even if disagreeable experiences do follow, they are, I repeat, so very curious that he who has not exposed himself to them once, at least, can scarcely say that he has lived. And now, gentlemen. it you please, let me offer a dose of hashish to each of you.” So saying, he gave us a small teaspoonful of the conserve. “ Doctor," said I, “ as I Wish to be completely under the influence of the drug, will you please to increase the dose for me ?” “ If you wish it I will do so." Here the servants brought in the differ- ent dishes, and, as our host has the repu- tation of being a gourmet it is needless th say lhnt the breakfast was exquisite. Eaco and all did honor to the repast. and during quite a good half hour I felt nothing in any way abnormal ; but when the meal was drawing to its close a subtle warmth, which came as it were in gusts to my head and chest, seemed to permeate my body with a singular emotion. Later on, the conversation around me reached my under- standing charaed with droll insig’nificance. The noise of a fork tapped against a glass struck my car as a. most harmonious vibra- tion. The faces of my companions were transformed. The particular animal type â€"â€"-which, according to Lavater, is the basis {of every human countenanceâ€"appeared to lmestrikingly clear. My right-hand neigh~ bor became an eagle ; he on my .ett grew ilnto an owl, with full projecting eyes; immediately in front of me the man was a lion ; while the Doctor himself was meta- morphosed into a fox. Objects around me seemed, little by little, to clothe themselves in fantastic garb, the arabesques on the walls revealed themselves to me in rich rhymes of attractive poesyâ€"â€"sometimes melancholy. But more geneally rising to an exaggerated lyrism, or to transcendent bufloonery. The porcelain vases, the bottles, the glasses sparkling on the table, all took the most ludicrous forms. At the same time I felt creeping all around the region of my heart a tickling pressure, to squeeze out, as it were. with gentle force, a laugh which burst forth with noisy violence. I My neighbors, too, seemed subjected to an identical influence, for I saw their faces unfold like peoniesâ€"victims of boisterous hilarity, holding their sides and rolling about from right to left, their countenances swollen like Titans ‘. My voice seemed to have gained considerable strength, for when I Spoke it was as if it were a discharge of cannon. and long after I had uttered a sentence I heard in my brain the rever- beration, as it were, of distant thunder. Thoughts seized on me with fury and un. chained and disentangled themselves by torrents in my brain, and developed a rapid succession of geometrical combinations which appeared to be the simplest, as well as the most exact, expression ot those ideas which one is obliged to render in an ap- proximate inanner by prolix words of gross moulding. Besides all tnis,I lost complete- ly the idea of time. As the action of hashish is intermittent. I gradually came back to my own identity, and believing that the edect of the drug was exhausted, I thought it time to with- draw myself and leave to their respective dreams my companions, who were too much absorbed to trouble themselves in my de- parture. llut scarcely had I set foot on the pavement outside the house than the effect of the drug, which had in a measure subsided, stized upon me again with re- doubled force. Herc Words utterly fail me to express the incomprehensible agony which ran through all my being I Some- times I felt that my feet took root to the earrh, and that I was sinking up to my neck in the soil, and that I could only draw my feet out with the greatest diffi- culty, each step seeming to haVe hundreds of pound weights attached to them. Then I appeared to be gifted with the lightness ofasponge. and I remember that I held firmly to a. tree, fearing that I should sud- denly disappear in the air with the velncily of a balloon. Vibrations, llke shccks of electricity, ran through me. An iron hand seemed to have got hold of my brain and was crushing it. I was seized with dizzi- ness, and I shudder even now when I think how intense was my sutfering. _* â€"_._._. A WONIIERFUL SYSTEM Is That by Whirl- llnclt‘ Sam Spots Mall Rubbers. “The system employed by the United States Postotlice Department in tracing nefts from the mail is so perfect that it is .escaped the threatened death, and to be, ‘ er was conducted into the presence of Mis. utterly impossible for any one to rob the mails many times withJut being detected," said a man well posted in the workings of Uncle Sam’s big postal syStem. “Every now and then you read of this or that per~ son being arrested by the I’ostotfice Inspec- tors, biit do you know the system they use to trace the theft ‘3” “Well, suppose you report that you sent a letter or a package to New York. which never reached its destination. The first thing done is to find out just what time you mailed the matter. and from that the Inspectors car. tell what train it was sent out on. \‘Vlien mail matters leaves an oflice it is accompanied by the card of the one who handled it. and it is the same with each messenger on the trains. “A list is made of every man whose hands the mail passed through or would have passed through in reaching its destination and a dot is placed opposite their names. Before long another complaint will be made and the same process will be gone through. Before the mail disappeared maybe it passed through the ham is of four or five of the same men as the first one, and two dots go down opposite their names. The system is kept up, and pretty soon, if the thief is not caught before that, five or six dots appear opposite one or two men’s names. “Detectives me at once put to work shadowing the suspected men, and after becoming reasonably sure of who is the guilty one decoy letters come in play and the work of gathering convicting evidence is carried on until the inevitable climax of arrest follows. “To accomplish this work it requires a: complete system of keeping tab upon each and every piece of mail matter. A railway messenger is allowed 30 mistakes a month. or one each day. If he makes more he has to explain, and if he makes 60 off goes his head. "Sometimes one man does not report anoth- er; if he does not and no mistakes are reported againsta railway messenger then the men in charge of that department he- gin to investigate. They know the man must make mistakes and they thus force each man to report another, for one who sees a mistake and does not report it is as guilty as the one who made it." A GLASGOW MIRACLE. A SCOTCH LASSIE RESCUED BY A CANADIAN. "or Life was Despair"! orâ€"thjcvl to Falnllng Spl‘lli and "can Troubleâ€" lloclors Said Rct'ovory was Impossible ~.\ Wonderful Story. From the Glasgow Echo. The case of “ Little Nell," whose mira- culous cure was reported in the newspapers, with a subsequent letter from the Rev. Samuel Harding, is but one of a series of similar cases in Glasgow. The latest is that of Miss Lizzie Duncan, a young woman who has been snatched back to life. She was in what is termed a “decline”â€"wasting away by inches before the eyes of her parents, and her sad condition seems to have been known to a number of people. Consequently when she was found to have i apparently, as well as anyone in Glasgow, a tremendous impetus was given to the prevalent talk, and an Echo reporter was directed to make a searching investigation, with the result that this strange story was entirely confirmed, Arriving at 208 Stirling Road, the report- Duncan by a rosy-checked young woman, who proved to be Miss Duncan, who looked in no way like an invalid. “This is the lassie,” said the mother. “ Heaven knows that a miracle has been wrought upon her. Eighteen months ago Lizlle began to pine away. The color left her entirely, and she appeared to be as weak as water, One Sunday morning she said, ‘Oh, mother, I canna rise to-day,’ and before she had got out. the words her whiteness became like that of a corpse and she fell away into a faint. I sent for the doctor who said she had heart disease. When he saw her again she had grown worse and the doctor said, ‘ The poor lassie is very far through.’ lVe expected that poor Lizzie Would not livelong. There was no color in her ia.e. She was wasting away, her cheek bones sticking through as if they would break the skin. Her arms and legs were just bones. The doctor said, “Lizzie may stand the winter, but if she does, that will be all.’ One day, however I chanced to read of several cases in which dying persons had been restored to life, by a new scientific methodâ€"some pills, not like other medicine, but altogether of ex- traordinary virtue, called Dr. Williams Pink I’ills for Pale People. I said to my husband, ‘In the name of God let’s try Dr. William’s Pink Pills'. Well, before the first box was empty there was an improve ment. She persevered and when she had finished her fifth box she was perfectly well. and there is not now a stronger young woman in the townhead of Glasgow, though at one time she Was a living skeleton. You can ask any of the neighbors,” said Mrs. Duncan in conclusion, “ or any person in the street and they will confirm my story.” “ Ion) stronger than ever I was in my life," added the daughter, “ yet Icaii hardly describe how ill Iwas. I was cer' tainly dying. I could neither go up nor down stairs; I Was afraid to walk on ac-' count of the fluttering sensation at my heart. I took Dr. \Villiams’ l'ink l’ills as my mother has devribed, and ice‘. that they saved my life.” Miss Wood, the lady who drew the re- porter’s attention to the case. said that the parents had their daughter's photo. graph taken, for they though that she would soon be sleeping in her grave. Liz- zie once visited her, and was 03 weak that she had to carry her back to her house. “ The change,” said Miss Wood in conclus- ion, ‘: has been wonderful. She is now a sonsic lass, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been an instrument in God's own hands.” The Lightning‘s Touch Is scarcely more rapid than the lightning like action of Nerviline in all kinds of pain.
